The invention pertains to a method for visualizing surface data and panorama image data in a three-dimensional scene, the method comprising providing a map view mode and a panorama view mode to a user, wherein the surface data is associated with a representation of a three-dimensional surface (2), comprises a multitude of surface tiles and/or a multitude of surface objects representing features of the three-dimensional surface, and is referenced relative to a coordinate reference system; the panorama image data is associated with at least one panorama image and comprises panorama position data describing a position relative to the coordinate reference system; the map view mode comprises visualizing surface data of at least a part of the representation of the three-dimensional surface as perceived from a map viewpoint; and the panorama view mode comprises visualizing panorama image data of at least a part of the panorama image as perceived from a panorama viewpoint. The map view mode comprises displaying at least one panorama element (30) which comprises a plurality of display surfaces for visualizing panorama image data in the map view mode and is positioned relative to the representation of the three-dimensional surface according to the panorama position data, wherein the method comprises displaying, during the map view mode, a panorama preview image (3) on at least two of the display surfaces, wherein the panorama preview image is based on the panorama image data and corresponds to at least a part of the panorama image, depending on the current position and orientation of the panorama element relative to the map viewpoint. |
